Lyrics[]
- I'm so glad you made time to see me.
- How's life? Tell me how's your family.
- I haven't seen them in a while.
- You've been good, busier than ever,
- We small talk, work and the weather,
- Your guard is up and I know why.
- Because the last time you saw me
- Is still burned in the back of your mind.
- You gave me roses and I left them there to die.
- So this is me swallowing my pride,
- Standing in front of you saying, "I'm sorry for that night,"
- And I go back to December all the time.
- It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you.
- Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine.
- I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right.
- I go back to December all the time.
- These days I haven't been sleeping,
- Staying up, playing back myself leaving.
- When your birthday passed and I didn't call.
- And I think about summer, all the beautiful times,
- I watched you laughing from the passenger side.
- Realized that I loved you in the fall.
- And then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind
- You gave me all your love and all I gave you was "Goodbye".
- So this is me swallowing my pride
- Standing in front of you saying, "I'm sorry for that night."
- And I go back to December all the time.
- It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
- Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine.
- I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
- I go back to December all the time.
- I miss your tanned skin, your sweet smile,
- So good to me, so right
- And how you held me in your arms that September night
- The first time you ever saw me cry.
- Maybe this is wishful thinking,
- Probably mindless dreaming,
- But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right.
- I'd go back in time and change it but I can't.
- So if the chain is on your door I understand.
- But this is me swallowing my pride
- Standing in front of you saying, "I'm sorry for that night."
- And I go back to December...
- It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
- Wishing I'd realize what I had when you were mine.
- I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right.
- I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
- I go back to December all the time.
- All the time.
